Untraceable in Portland
source: Lakeshore EntertainmentEven actors who have moved from Portland to LA to break into the film industry know Portland is a great city for movie making.
Wil Olandria is driving from LA to Portland next week to begin six days’ work on a new Diane Lane movie, Untraceable, starring Colin Hanks, Billy Burke, and Joseph Cross.
The actor is happy to be headed to his home town for a few days, especially since his brother, Warren Olandria, a resident of the Washington DC area, will be in Portland. It will be the first time Wil, Warren, and their parents have been together since they attended a family gathering in Las Vegas almost a year ago.
Some measure of Wil’s enthusiasm is directed at the Gypsy, which some call a frat boy dive and others a hip Karaoke bar. Wil quips, “Look out Gypsy! I’m coming home!” A big fan of Karaoke, he used to work at the 9 Ball as a Karaoke DJ.

Happy Anniversary!

Wil found it hard to believe a whole year had passed since he moved to LA to follow his dream of making a living as an actor. In a contemplative mood, he noted, “I’m not as busy as I’d like, but I can’t ignore the fact that I am more fortunate than others.”
How busy has Wil been in the last year?
